'Maurice Medland has to be one of the best of the best adventure writers in America today. Tom Clancy, Steve Coontz, and Nelson DeMille fans will find Medland has a talent for creating fast action, nasty villains, and rousing escapism that is second to none. A master storyteller.' --Clive Cussler * The secrecy of a mysterious aerospace laboratory in Hong Kong * A daring break from a heavily guarded Chinese prison camp * A fierce drama played out on the storm-tossed Pacific Ocean-and in the depths below- * Where the fate of the world is in the hands of a brave young American couple . . . When Elizabeth Grayson, the beautiful half-Chinese daughter of a U.S. senator, discovers that she has unwittingly contributed to a terrible new weapons system while doing medical research in China, she's thrown into a notorious forced labor camp to keep her quiet. Enter Matt Connor, a disgraced ex-submarine officer operating a tramp ocean-salvage ship out of Taiwan, who is hired by her wealthy father to get her out. But after Matt rescues the headstrong pacifist from her island prison and learns the secret the Chinese don't want the U.S. to know, the thrown-together pair are on the run and faced with a new dilemma. With time running out and the PLA Navy in hot pursuit, can they stop a rogue Red Prince, Elizabeth's brilliant but corrupt first cousin, from launching a catastrophic new weapon that will bring America to its knees? In STAR BRIGHT, Maurice Medland has written a classic adventure story in the bestselling tradition of Clive Cussler-and an international thriller a par with the best works of Dan Brown and Nelson DeMille. At the heart of this electrifying novel are a strong-willed senator's daughter and her reluctant rescuer, two people from very different worlds who become bound together in a desperate game of survival, pitted against deadly forces that must be stopped at any cost-even their own lives. Maurice Medland is the bestselling author of POINT OF HONOR. A graduate of Truman State University, he served in the U.S. Navy before entering a career in business. A former vice-president of a Fortune 500 company, he holds an Executive MBA from Pepperdine University. He is a member of International Thriller Writers and The Authors Guild, and has taught creative writing at The University of California, Irvine. He lives with his wife, Karen, in Yorba Linda, California.
